Is it often that you see good news that contains the word “suffered” as a verb? I’m sure it probably is.

To brag about this shows such a lack of understanding of what is gained over lifetimes.
And a lot of soft power will be lost, with future leaders of foreign nations no longer having that connection with the US that a good education experience brings...

Thanks for that info.
It's important to know that the deliberations and vote by the grand jury are not transcribed - they are 100% secret, with no court reporter. So there's no way to verify what the first vote was, other than the foreperson's recollection. That's why we insist the GJ vote on the actual indictment.

We saw Trump despicably attack two female reporters. Yet not one member of the corporate media at those events stood up for these reporters. That is both inexcusable and tells you so much about the horrible state of corporate media. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-tras...

In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.

Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

“Keep your voice down.”
“That’s enough of you.”
“Be nice; don’t be threatening.”
“There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”
“Quiet, piggy.”
This is a sampling of what the president of the United States has said to and about female journalists.

Thank you, Indiana.
The Indiana State Senate rejected President Donald Trump’s call for a special session to redraw the state’s congressional map ahead of the 2026 midterms. The move preserves Indiana’s current map and represents yet another rebuke of Trump’s national gerrymander push.
